Chapter 706 - Seven Hundred And Six: Who Would Be Laid Off

The third point of view:

"What do you want from me, Jennifer?" Neon asked her as soon as she answered the call.

"How funny," She said and Neon didn\'t know how to feel upon hearing her first voice for the first time after so many years.

Neon tried to conjure what she looked like but the details were quite vague. The result was quite funny judging from the fact she had never once escaped his memory, yet, he couldn\'t even remember a detailed profile of what she looked like previously. The memories with her were also distant and blurry as if they were slowly slipping from his memory.

It made him realize that he had taken the Spencers as a family and they were the ones who filled in the parental care he was missing. He could never forget the day Isabella and Pedro saved him from the claws of his mother after she lost it.

Although, there came a time when he had grown up that he resented Niklaus. Neon had blamed Niklaus for whatever happened to her mother, Jennifer, thinking his mother became that way because he broke off their engagement to be with Reina.

However, that was until he read the doctor\'s diagnosis on his mother. Jennifer\'s mental health disorder did not begin when Niklaus broke off the engagement rather when her husband died. She didn\'t have a family member who could help her?through her

Mania and hypomania episode.

She became better when Niklaus took her in or rather the symptoms were subtle or just maybe, none of them were attentive enough to notice the changes. It wasn\'t until Rein threatened the so thought safe haven his mother thought she had created and then the symptoms flared up. She attempted murder.

"Up to ten years ago, you called me mother," Jennifer pointed out bitterly.

"That was until I realized you don\'t deserve the title," Neon retorted with no remorse in his heart. He couldn\'t forget the abuse he went through as a kid in her hand.

"We should meet," Jennifer said, evading that very topic.

"Who let you out of the mental asylum?" Neon asked instead, causing the woman to get annoyed.

"Were you hoping that I rot in there?"

"I wasn\'t just hoping so," Neon said to her, "I was praying so. Please, my life\'s getting better, don\'t come and ruin it,"

"You only think the worse of me, don\'t you?"

"The fact that you escaped the hospital only means that you\'re up to no good. Unlike the others, I know you well enough to know that you don\'t give up on what you want,"

"Really?" She was amused.

"Wasn\'t that why you kept pushing me beyond my limit when I was young to keep up with Nik\'s expectation?"

"At least you know now that everything I did was for your own good," Jennifer claimed.

"No," Neon refuted, "It was for your own selfish gain and I was nothing but your pawn. But you know what?" he laughed sarcastically, "All those expectations you wanted from me, I\'ve met them now. I\'m smarter, and better now, and it wasn\'t because of you. I did it for myself because I deserved it!"

"Good for you then, it makes everything easy," she said to his confusion.

"Everything easy?" Neon\'s brows furrowed, trying to understand what his mother was up to.

"I\'m back now to take what Niklaus owes me and that includes you,"

Neon gritted his teeth, "I told you not to cause any trouble!"

"Sorry but you\'re my son and don\'t get to command me,"

"I\'ll stop you then, none of your plans would work. As soon as Niklaus gets wind of your disappearance, he would hunt you down and send you to where you belong,"

"Ooh, I\'m scared," Jennifer mocked before releasing a villainous guffaw, "Sure, go on ahead. Tell him! Once he\'s informed, I\'m sure he would understand why I\'m back and we would then see who would get laid off first, me or you to protect his children?"

At once, Neon\'s blood ran cold as he realized his mother\'s word was true. Once Reina and Niklaus hears of his mother\'s re-emergence, they would have to let him go for the safety of their family,"

He can\'t let them know yet, at least, until he figures out his mother\'s plans and stops her.

"Go to hell," Was all he said and hung up on her.

Neon didn\'t go inside immediately, rather he stayed outside and collected his thoughts. After making sure his emotions was well controlled, Neon placed a smile on his face and went back to the hallway where he was sure to find Ailee with….

What in the name of God was that asshole doing here? Neon\'s face distorted at once as soon as he laid his eyes on Theodore. He prayed to God that he wasn\'t trying anything funny with Ailee else….

"Neon!" He was roused from his thought when Ailee called his name and waved him over.

"You know him already, right?" She said to Theodore and gestured to him, "Yeah, I know,"

"Neon, this is Theodore and I\'m having dinner with him tonight," She informed him, grinning foolishly.

Anger filled Neon and his fist clenched by his side, he knew he shouldn\'t have left Ailee alone.

"You\'re not going anywhere," He stated.

"Alright, wait - what?!" Ailee was stunned, then she ran her hand through her hair and faced him saying, "Look, I understand and appreciate the fact that you and Allen is looking out for me, but this time, you\'re not stopping me from doing what I have," she was firm and resolute in her decision to date him.

But Neon snorted, "Who said that I\'m stopping you from attending the dinner?"

"What?" Ailee was confused, "But you just said -",

"I have a photoshoot today or have you forgotten, my manager?" Mockery dripped from his words.

"Oh right," Ailee slapped her head. How stupid! How could she forget that?

With a victorious smirk, Neon turned to announce to Theodore, "As you can see, my sister doesn\'t have the time for dinner,"

"Oh, don\'t worry," Theodore was not discouraged, "I\'ll simply tag along,"

Neon\'s face fell at once.
